IMO JOURNALISTS NOMINATE ZULUM FOR NUJ\u2019s \u201cDISTINGUISHED LEADERSHIP AWARD\u201d<\/h1>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Journalists working in Imo state, have through the Nigeria Union of Journalists, NUJ, nominated Borno State Governor, Professor Babagana Zulum, for the union\u2019s \u201cDistinguished Leadership Award\u201d in recognition of his selfless and people-driven leadership.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The NUJ presented the nomination letter to Zulum\u2019s Senior Special Assistant on Media, Babasheikh Haruna and the the governor\u2019s Special Adviser on Community Relations, Chief Kester Ogualili, who hails from Anambra state.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
They were in Owerri, the Imo State capital, Friday, to homour an invitation by the NUJ, ahead of the union\u2019s summit planned for May 25.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
In the nomination letter, which was jointly signed by Imo Chairman of the union, Chief Christopher Akaraonye, Secretary, Juliet Dim and the Summit\u2019s Planning Committee Chairman, Emma Odibo, the NUJ wrote that Zulum was selected by a panel of journalists, after thorough evaluation of leaders across the country.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The NUJ described Zulum as a selfless leader whose only interest is making lives better for his people.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Speaking after receiving the nomination, Senior Special Assistant on Media, Babasheikh Haruna and the Special Adviser on Community Relations, Chief Kester Ogualili, differently spoke on Zulum\u2019s activities in Borno.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cThough we\u2019ve been experiencing a lot of challenges, we are working hard to change the narrative in Borno State. As I am talking to you, a lot of transformation is taking taking place despite the crises. This has been overshadowed by what\u2019s currently happening, but I assure you that it\u2019s only a matter of time we will have these problems behind us\u201d Haruna said.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
He stressed that Zulum is currently grappling with problem of resettling the persons displaced by the insurgents in the state and expressed optimism that peace will return to the state.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Also speaking, the Special Adviser on Community Relations, Kester Ogualili, described Zulum as one of the most detribalised Nigerians, stressing that the Igbo community in Borno State are so proud that the honour was coming from south east.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
He described Borno as second home to them, adding that the Igbo community have enjoyed immense benefit from Zulum right from his days as the rector of Ramat Polytechnic.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
He said, \u201cWe the Igbo community in Borno thought it heartwarming for you to have remembered our principal. We are at home in Borno. Zulum does not call us non-indigenes, but tax payers. We live in Borno and that\u2019s where we train our children. He is a true bridge builder and a certified nationalist\u201d Ogualili noted.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
He added that Igbos\u2019 relationship with him did not start as Governor but Ramat Polytechnic, saying there are many Igbo teachers.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cIgbo are doing well in Borno because they are not being marginalised. We have benefited from Borno entrepreneurship programme and during Christmas, he provided vehicles for us to go home and also parcel for widows in our communities. No discrimination in admissions in Borno state University. Equal chance for everyone and no discriminatory fees\u201d the adviser added.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
NUJ\u2019s Vice-Chairman, who chairs the summit\u2019s planning committee, Emma Odibo, while handing over the letter, said the council was proud to be associated with Zulum\u2019s achievements in Borno, especially the fight against insurgency.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
